Murray Head

the single’s b-side (the musical’s opening number Meranoby the London Symphony Orchestra & The Ambrosian Singers conducted by Anders Eljas featuring Murray Head) is one of the few pieces of classical music I have in my collection, and not even entirely classical.

Play something about weather.


Something I hadn't played in a while...

Magazine – Magic, Murder And The Weather
Virgin – V 2200, 1981

Day 28 - Łódź Knows
Arthur Rubinstein was born on this day in 1887. Play something featuring top-tier piano playing.

Neil Swainson Quintet "49th Parallel" (2020 Reel To Reel)
I don't know what's considered top-tier but there is some damn good playing by late Canadian jazz pianist Gary Williamson on this set. And I wanted to get this to the table today.

Day 26 - “They called me Eddie”
Eddie Van Halen was born on this day in 1955. Play something featuring top-tier guitar playing.


It may not be most people's "top-tier", but I always like to hear what Steve Albini will do on a guitar.

Homestead Records – HMS043, 1986

Day 27 - Rock Me Amadeus
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was born on this day in 1756. Play some classical.


Most of what I have that is listed as "classical" are just movie scores that I wouldn't really call "classical".
